High-Resolution Optical Tweezers Combined with Multicolor Single-Molecule Microscopy
Optical tweezers (OT) are a device that can manipulate individual molecules with cells by using light from low-wattage lasers and are used to study and manipulate DNA and RNA. There is a serious limitation to these optical tweezers. They can only measure a single degree of freedom, which is then projected onto a single dimension….
Petrarch® silane used in the manufacture of a custom microchip used in the study of CNS axon growth

UCT’s Trichlorosilane Integral in Antibody Success Evaluation in Model Viral Agent, Murine Coronavirus
Identifying antibodies (Abs) that neutralize infectious agents is the first step for developing therapeutics, vaccines, and diagnostic tools for infectious agents. However, current approaches for identifying neutralizing Abs (nAbs) typically rely on dilution-based assays that are costly, inefficient, and only survey a small subset of the entire repertoire. In a recent paper authored Jose A….

UCT Silane Cited in Droplet-Based Microfluidic Article
The kidneys are considered critical for the long-term control of blood pressure by regulation of body fluid and blood volume. In support of this concept, the kidneys control the systemic activity of the pro-hypertensive renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by regulating the production and release of renin from juxtaglomerular cells. The relationship between the endocannabinoid system in the…
UCT Flagship Sorbent Clean Screen DAU cited in SOFT-TIAFT U-47700 Presentation
Several deaths in the US and Europe have been attributed to U-47700 both alone, and in combination with other drugs. In a presentation given at the recent SOFT-TIAFT conference in Boca Raton by M.L. Zaney et al., postmortem cases from a regional medical examiners laboratory in Florida, USA were presented in which U-47700 was detected either in blood or drug paraphernalia. In the study, whole blood specimens were extracted using UCT’s flagship Clean Screen® DAU solid phase extraction (SPE) columns.
